The Property — Anh Quan
Anh Quan is a no-frills, clean 3-star in Haiphong's city centre. The lobby feels utilitarian – tiled floors, a reception desk with two staff, a small seating area – but serves as a reliable base for exploring the port city. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need easy access to the train station and ferry terminal, not a holiday vibe. You get a decent bed, air-con, and a basic breakfast, no more, no less.
Chronicles of Haiphong
Haiphong was founded in 1874 as a major seaport under French colonial rule, quickly growing into Vietnam's principal northern port. Its wide boulevards and French-era villas still line the city centre, especially around Opera House Square. During the Vietnam War, it survived heavy bombing and later became a key gateway for Doi Moi economic reforms. Today, it's a gritty, working-class city that values commerce over tourism, with a distinct identity separate from Hanoi's cultural scene.
Best Time to Visit
Full Haiphong guide →Best months
November to March: dry, cooler weather with temperatures 15-25°C, manageable crowds as it's outside peak holiday season.
Peak / festival surge
May to September: hot and humid, with temperatures 28-35°C and heavy rain, but Tet (late Jan/Feb) sees max domestic visitors. Hotel prices rise 20-30% during Tet and summer holidays.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: milder weather (20-30°C), fewer tourists, hotel rates drop 15-20%. Good time for cycling to Cat Ba Island without summer's heat.
Weather & packing
Haiphong's climate has a sharp humidity spike in summer (80%+), making light cottons essential. Pack a rain jacket or umbrella for sudden downpours, and a cardigan for December's cooler evenings.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anh Quan, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6, facing the rear (away from Phố Cái Bèo). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but within the lift range, and the rear aspect cuts traffic rumble from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 to 3, especially those facing Phố Cái Bèo. Street-level noise from motorbikes and local traffic is constant, and the lower floors are closer to the entrance, lift lobby, and any ground-floor commercial activity.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms (likely overlooking a quieter lane or courtyard) – the address is on a main street in Haiphong’s urban grid, so no scenic water or monument view; opt for the less trafficked side.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 – the lift serves these, you’re above street level, and away from the noise of the entrance and lift mechanism.
🔊 Noise notes
Phố Cái Bèo is a busy inner-city road in Haiphong – expect motorbikes, car horns, and general Vietnamese street noise from early morning until late evening. Avoid front-facing rooms if you’re a light sleeper.
Insider tips
1. If arriving on foot or by motorbike, the lift is probably small – pack light or be ready to carry bags up a flight if it’s cramped. 2. Ask at check-in for a room on the quieter side away from the street – the staff may not offer it unprompted but will often oblige.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Haiphong
💡 Best at dawn (5:30–6:30 AM) when the light hits the water and the city wakes up. The nearby Tam Bac Market sells cheap snacks if you need breakfast.
💡 Visit late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds. The monks sometimes offer free tea if you sit quietly in the main hall.
💡 Come hungry. Try bánh đa cua (crab noodle soup) for about 15,000 VND. Bring small bills; vendors rarely have change for large notes.
💡 Combine with a walk through the nearby Nghia Trai pagoda (free, 5 minutes away). The temple gets busy on the 10th day of the lunar month for festivals.
💡 The entrance fee is 10,000 VND (roughly 40 US cents). Most labels are in Vietnamese only, so bring a translation app or hire a student guide outside for a small tip.
